Tracker
"Tracker" is a very serious person. He doesn't show emotion. In class I suggested that perhaps there was a hint of a smile when he was tracking the girls. They were already over 1000 miles from where they first ran away. What are your thoughts? Did Tracker let the girls escape? Why may he have done so?

I think he must have let them escape because they all were Aboriginals. The tracker probably secretly wanted to help at least those three girls so they could get out of where they were being kept so they could have a semi-normal life.
ReplyDeleteNo. I don't believe that he allowed the girls to escape. I believe that he may have appriciated them for being so quick, and smart, but I do not believe that he went any lighter on them just because he was like them. Truthfully I just believe that Molly and her sister were just extremely lucky.
ReplyDeleteI sort of agree with Poncho. I think that he didn't try to let them escape, but I think that if they did escape he wouldn't lose any more sleep at night. When he smiled, he also might have just have appreciated finally having someone to track who presented a sort of challenge, rather than someone who was caught easily.
ReplyDeleteI think he let them get away because he knew what it felt like to loose someone. In the movie they say his daughter is at the camp with him. I doubt he sees her much. He probably let them get away because he might have wanted the culture to live.
ReplyDeleteI kind of agree with Nefertiti. I think that, since the girls already traveled over 1000 miles, he just let them go. Maybe he thought, since 1000 miles on barefoot would have been really difficult and that they were all kind of the same ( they were all part Aborigionals), that he would just let them go.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Poncho and Breise21. I don't think he let them get away. He didn't let all the other girls that ran away get away, so why these girls? I don't think the tracker is a very good person because he's doing this to his own people. I think he doesn't like the aboriginal people, like he's ashamed of himself, so to make up for it, he's helping the British.
ReplyDeleteI think the tracker let them escape, because he knew how they felt and after traveling all that way he probably just decided to let them go.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nefertiti and Katiebear. I think that after 1000 miles just let them go. Also that during the movie I noticed that the tracker was part aboriginese and maybe he had even went to the same camp when he was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI think the tracker was suprised of how well they were at covering their tracks, but he smiled because he knew they were their, and that he found them.
ReplyDeleteI think the tracker let the kids go. When he saw how hard the were trying and how smart they were being to avoid him, he led the white guy away from them. When the girls walked on the rocks to avoid showing footprints, it looked like he had a glint in his eye, like he knew what they were doing and he was almost smiling. Another example was when he was talking to the white guy by the fence, he said that the girls were trying very hard to get home and they weren't going to give up. So I think he respected that and let them go.
ReplyDeleteI think Tracker's a traitor but I also do think he let the girls go free after Mr. Neville refused to let him resign earlier. I think he misses his daughter and when the girls escaped he knew there was hope for his daughter after all.
ReplyDeleteTechnically yellowmonkeys is right, he is kind of a traitor but the only reason why he does this is because he wants to stay with his daughter, and really you can't blame him. I feel bad for him and his daughter and for the girls. I think that he might have let them go because he thought that since they had gotten this far he should let them keep fighting because they were strong. I don't know, maybe he didn't know that they were there, but he did seem to smile. I guess we'll never really know.
